Total Women's Ministry meets:
When: 1st Saturday of the month Time: 9:00am Location: St. Paul MBC |
This ministry has much the same purpose and function as the
Men’s Ministry except that it is for women.
It is a ministry designed to empower women to become God’s women,
belonging to God and behaving in a manner consistent with the moral nature of
God.
This ministry is designed to nurture women through discipleship. The purpose of this nurture is to develop a spiritually, socially, mentally, and emotionally whole woman who can be an authentic witness in her concentric circle of influence.
This ministry will include women of the church, whether single or married. It will also relate to other ministries in the church. It will be concerned with evangelizing women, engaging in mission projects, and developing girls into women. These women will not merely function within the women’s ministry but throughout the church fellowship. However, God’s order and design will be followed in that women will not serve in the pulpit preaching, elder or deacon functions. (1 Timothy 2:8-13; 16). The women should share in the ministries of the church like Mary, Martha, Elizabeth, Dorcas, Phoebe, Pricilla, Lois, and Eunice. We must note that Paul’s admonishment for women to keep silent in the church had reference to speaking in tongues and not in ministry activities.

January 2020 Meeting
The first meeting of the year began with a wonderful breakfast and a great number of women in attendance. Our lesson was taught by Pastor Boyd entitled “Action”. Action means the act of doing something to complete it. Often, even after taking the first step, we can get caught in the cycle of guilt, anger, and fear. How do we free ourselves, and get past the barriers of pride, fear, worry and doubt that keep us from completion? The answer is take “Action”. Recovery takes one day at a time. If we remain stuck in yesterday or constantly worry about tomorrow, we waste precious time of the present. We can only change our hurts, hang ups or habits in the present. We must turn it over, let go and let GOD!
